Nathan Lyon limped off the field early in the evening session on day two of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, causing concern over his continued participation in the match.
Lyon sustained the injury while fielding at deep-backward square-leg, pulling up while running into collect the ball. Duckett had played a pull shot off Cameron Green which had taken his top-edge, but the ball fell short of Lyon. As he ran into pick it up Lyon looked like he felt some discomfort in his lower right leg.
As he limped towards the boundary rope, the commentators speculated over whether the injury looked like cramp or something more serious. Lyon spent some time sitting on the boundary rope, receiving treatment from the Australia team physio, before being supported around the rope and back into the dressing room.
As cameras focussed on him walking back, Lyon looked to be in significant pain and was walking with a heavy limp. Lyon had already bowled 13 overs in England’s first innings and picked up the wicket of Zak Crawley.
